20 ft Tunnel Container – Double End Doors, Corten Steel, CSC Plated

This 20 ft tunnel container – double end doors, Corten steel, CSC plated features doors at both ends, creating a pass-through configuration that revolutionizes loading efficiency in tight spaces. For example, you can drive a forklift or pallet truck directly through the container, loading from one end and exiting the other. Therefore, this compact tunnel design eliminates the need to reverse out of standard single-door containers.

Why Choose a 20ft Tunnel Container for Your Operation?

Standard containers have doors at only one end, which creates loading bottlenecks. In contrast, this tunnel container has double doors on both ends, giving you full drive-through capability. Consequently, you can position the container between two work areas and load or unload from either side. Moreover, the compact 20ft length fits where larger 40ft tunnel containers cannot. Thus, you gain significantly faster turnaround times in space-constrained sites.

Key Features of This Tunnel Container

The double end doors and Corten steel construction make this tunnel container stand out. For instance, each set of doors features heavy-duty locking rods (top, bottom, and side) with galvanized bolts. Similarly, the Corten steel body develops a stable rust patina that prevents deeper corrosion without requiring painting. Furthermore, the CSC safety plate confirms structural integrity for intermodal shipping. Finally, the 28mm marine ply floor supports heavy loads up to 26,000 kg.

How Tunnel Configuration Improves Workflow

The double end door design transforms how you use this container in tight spaces. For example, place the container between your receiving bay and shipping bay in a narrow warehouse. Workers load goods from one end and unload from the opposite end, creating a continuous flow. Likewise, you can partition the interior into two separate storage zones, accessing each from its own end. If you operate a production line in a compact facility, position this tunnel container as a buffer between workstations. Thus, one compact container serves multiple workflow functions.

Corten Steel Construction – Built to Last

Corten steel makes this tunnel container exceptionally durable for outdoor use. First, the weathering steel (grade S355J2W) forms a stable, self-protecting rust patina over time. Second, the 1.6-2.0mm corrugated walls provide excellent structural rigidity while minimizing weight. Third, the steel requires no painting or ongoing maintenance. Finally, a typical Corten steel container lasts 25+ years in outdoor conditions. Therefore, you can place this tunnel container anywhere without worrying about premature rust or structural failure.

CSC Plated – Ready for Intermodal Shipping

The CSC plate confirms that this tunnel container meets international safety standards. For example, the plate certifies that the container has passed structural tests for stacking, lifting, and floor strength. Likewise, the CSC certification allows legal transport on ships, trains, and trucks. If you need to ship goods or relocate the container, this certification is essential for carrier acceptance. Thus, you gain flexibility to use this 20ft tunnel container for both static storage and transport.

20ft Dimensions – Perfect for Tight Sites

The 20ft length provides substantial storage capacity while fitting where 40ft containers cannot. For example, the internal length of approximately 19ft 4in accommodates 11 Euro pallets. Likewise, the internal width of approximately 7ft 8in-7ft 9in allows comfortable movement. Furthermore, the standard height (8ft 6in exterior, 7ft 10in interior) works well for most applications. If you need drive-through access but lack space for a 40ft unit, this 20ft tunnel container fits perfectly.

Double Door Specifications – Both Ends

Each end of this tunnel container features identical double door specifications. First, the door opening measures approximately 2,340mm wide x 2,280mm high (standard height). Second, each door leaf includes heavy-duty locking rods (top, bottom, and side) for security. Third, galvanized bolts resist rust in outdoor site conditions. Finally, rubber weather seals prevent dust and moisture ingress. As a result, both ends provide the same level of security and weather protection.

What’s Included

First, every unit includes the 20ft Corten steel tunnel container with double doors at both ends. Second, the CSC safety plate comes affixed and valid. Third, the 28mm marine ply floor is fitted. Fourth, heavy-duty locking rods and padlock hasps are installed on all four doors. Finally, forklift pockets (4) and crane lugs allow easy repositioning.

For instance, you can add a factory-fitted lockbox for enhanced padlock security on each door. Likewise, you can add a timber or concrete base kit for level installation. Furthermore, a full repainting service is available in any RAL colour. Contact our team for bulk orders of 5+ units.
